The plans to redevelop the Hayden Mill site look like they are still up in the air. Photos and text on here sound like the plan is to put a mixed-use (Starbucks, bars, fast food, offices) on the property, along with the whimsical notion of converting the old elevator into a hotel. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/112190The long story is here, although the next chapter of the story seems murky.http://www.tempe.gov/HAYDENFLOURMILL/news.htm

And I just read yesterday that Tempe is going to complete the development of the south end of the path next to the Crosscut canal so that there will be a nearly car-less route for riding to this point and beyond, including to the Hayeden Flour Mill Hotel. More posts on that as they do it, I'm sure!

Let's Just Ride

I commute by bicycle in Phoenix, Arizona, a metropolis suited to riding bicycles of all types, with weather, mountains, roads, canals, and paths to keep me forever spinning. My favorite bike tools are an open mind, creative engagement, curiosity, compassion, common ground, and the search for knowledge.
